During his eleven seasons in the NFL, Zendejas made 186 field goals in 252 attempts; he also scored 316 extra points for 874 points. He held the record for consecutive field goals made from 50 or more yards with 11 such kicks[2] until 2013 when the record was eclipsed by Blair Walsh of the Minnesota Vikings and Robbie Gould of the Chicago Bears.[3]

In 1991, he became the first kicker in NFL history to convert all of his field goal attempts, going 17-of-17.[4] He fell one missed extra point short of having the first "perfect season" for a kicker, a mark Gary Anderson reached seven years later.[5]
